The process ensures reduction of particles as small 1 as ions from a solution. Reverse Osmosis uses asemi- ||. * permeable membrane to reduce salts from potable / ||” raeareD brackish water. In Reverse Osmosis, water pressure | (WER Nr: applied to the concentrated side forces the process of | | | / osmosis into reverse. Under enough pressure, treated ‘ , a i Wate Fw | Y water is "squeezed" through the membrane from the Bese attweanatee concentrated side to the diluted side. Salts dissolved in Membrene "toran water as charged ions are repelled by the RO membrane. The rejected impurities on the concentrated side of the membrane are washed away in a stream of waste water and thusdonot get accumulated as in a traditional filter. UV Process The UV light has shorter wavelength (higher energy) than the visible light. It is called ultra-violet because its just beyond violet light in the light spectrum Technically, the ultra-violet lightis defined to be any wavelength of light, which is shorter than 400 nanometer. UV rays, which penetrate into the micro-organisms, are absorbed by the DNA of the pathogen in the water. The DNA is altered in such a way that the pathogen cannot reproduce itself. Thus, it is essentially killed and cannot cause infection. This process of DNA modification is called inactivation, Wavelength(nm) 400 700 X-Rays Ultraviolet, Visible Infrared Microwaves Radio Auto-flushing System The purpose of the Auto-Flushing system is to help prevent scaling or fouling of the RO membrane by providing a rapid rinse which washes away impurities from the membrane’s surface and keeps the membrane clean.

Incase such an alarm is audible, kindly switch off the purifier and call the service technician for help. The purifier will stop its purification process in such a circumstance. Filter Change Alarm* KENT Prime Mineral RO™ has an in-built feature that sounds an audible alarm to indicate replacement time for filters. This alarm will be audible after 700 hrs of use since the last filter change (or since the time of installation). The Filter Change Alarm will sound as follows 4 short beeps after every two seconds; for 30 seconds. The alarm will repeat after every 2 hours of use. U7 LS. MSL LT 30 Sec. 2 Hours 30 Sec. In case such an alarm is audible, please call the service technician and request him to change the filters of the purifier. However, if the filters are not changed within the next 60 hours of operation, the purifier will stop functioning to ensure purity and hygiene. The following alarm will be audible after 60 Hrs. Acontinuous beep for an infinite time. JTS. Incase, such an alarm is audible, kindly switch off the purifier and call the service technician to replace the filters. In such a circumstance, the purifier will not function unless the filters are changed. Computer Controlled Operation* To ensure delivery of purer and healthier water, a micro-processor is installed in the purifier that performs the following functions:- UV Stabilization Delay:To ensure that the UV lamp is pre-heated and is working at its optimum level before it starts disinfecting water, the controller provides a two seconds delay to UV lamp when the purifieris switched ‘on. During this period, only the UV lamp is switched on and other electrical devices of the purifier are switched off. Purification Delay:To ensure that the idle water lying in the internal pipes and in the UV chamber is disinfected before being passed into the storage tank, the system provides 5 second delay when the purifier is switched ‘on. During this time, the UV lamp kills all micro-organisms that may be in the water inside UV chamber. After this delay, all other electrical devices such as booster pump and solenoid valve are switched on to start normal purification process. Audible Alarm: The controller also controls the timing of UV Fail Alarm and the Filter Change Alarm.

Nitrite (in combination measured as N), and is certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies with pressure of 140 kpa (20 psi) or greater” This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As (V).AS (+5), or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.30 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water supplies containing detectable free chlorine residual or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramines (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the performance data sheet for further information. Arsenic Facts Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many ground waters. It generally occurs in two forms (valences or oxidation states): pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V),As(+5),or arsenate) and trivalentarsenic (also known as As(ll), As(+3), or arsenite). In natural ground water, arsenic may exist as trivalent arsenic, pentavalent arsenic, or a combination of both. Although both forms of arsenic are potentially harmful to human health, trivalent arsenicis considered more harmful than pentavalent arsenic. More information about arsenic and its toxicity can be found on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website at hitp://wwwepa govisafewater/arsenic. html. This system is designed to remove only pentavalent arsenic. This treatment system does not provide a feature for conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. The system may remove some trivalent arsenic, however it has notbeen evaluated forits ability to remove trivalent arsenic. Trivalent arsenic is generally more difficult to remove from drinking water than pentavalent arsenic. Trivalent arsenic can be converted to pentavalent arsenicin the presence of an effective oxidant such as free chlorine. The arsenic in water containing detectable free chlorine or that has been treated with another effective oxidantwill bein the pentavalent arsenic form.4 Treatment with chloramine (combined chiorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalentarsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Consumers using public water supplies can contact their utility to verify whether free chlorine treatment chemicals, are being used. Private water supplies and waters that do not have detectable free chlorine residuals should be analyzed to determine the form(s) of arsenic present and the potential need for oxidation of trivalent arsenic to pentavalentarsenic. ‘Arsenic does not generally impart color, taste, or smell to water, therefore, it can only be detected by a chemical analytical test. Public water supplies are required to monitor treated water for total arsenic (trivalent arsenic plus pentavalent arsenic) and the results are available to the public from the utility. Consumers using private water sources will need to make arrangements for testing. A tolal arsenic test usually costs about $15-30 and itis recommended the test be conducted by a certified laboratory. Local health departments or environmental protection agencies can help provide consumers witha listof certified laboratories. Some laboratories may also be able to analyze specifically for (speciate) the form(s) of arsenic presentin a water sample if requested. This treatment system was tested under laboratory conditions as defined in NSF/ANSI 58 Drinking Water Treatment Units —Health Effects and was found to reduce 0.30 mg/L of pentavalentarsenicin the test water to less than 0.010 mgiL. under standard testing conditions. Actual performance of the system may vary depending on specific water quality conditions at the consumer's installation. Following installation of this system, the consumer should have the treated water tested for total arsenic to verify arsenic reduction is being achieved and the systems functioning properly. The arsenic removal component of this system must be replaced at the end of its useful life of 1-2 years.
